The Borghese Gallery

The Borghese Gallery is most certainly one of the sights to see on a visit in Rome. The garden villa was commissioned in 1613 by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, an avid art collector, to house his impressive collection of Roman, Renaissance, and Baroque art, and it remains one of the most prestigious galleries in the world. With its extraordinary Bernini sculptures and numerous paintings by Caravaggio, the museum is a jewel that demonstrates the power of art sponsorship and reflects the personal finesse of Scipione Borghese.

The Gallery structure itself was commissioned by Cardinal Borghese in 1613 to showcase his art collection. The property, channeling a suburban pleasure villa, was developed with vast landscaped gardens that are now referred to as Villa Borghese (distinct from the art gallery). Architect Flaminio Ponzio initiated the project, which was ultimately completed by Giovanni Vasanzio.

When the Borghese family encountered financial difficulties in the 19th century, Prince Camillo Borghese sold many pieces from the collection to the French state, then led by Napoleon Bonaparte. For this reason, the Louvre includes a Borghese Collection, which consists of classical sculptures. The entire Borghese estate was acquired by the Italian government in 1902.
